I called this a month ago. A guy I know said I was dead wrong, Samsung would *never* do that.

Honestly? I wouldn't be shocked if Samsung jacked their prices even farther just to see how much Apple with pay. If Apple went ahead and said "fark you" to Samsung, it could effectively mean the end of a lot of support for any Apple product with the Samsung chip in it once new products come out by not just Apple, but developers as well. With Apple's strategy of "buy a new product every few months or else you're an out of touch tool" pushing users to always buy the latest and greatest, there's no reason to think they will support even current tech once they roll out new processors, and developers won't bother writing programs that will run on them either, especially if Samsung is smart and won't license the tech to another company to make processors that are compatible with current apps. That lawsuit will end up costing Apple a lot more than bad PR and time spent.

Quick, Samsung! Put through a patent with chipsets having square corners!!!!
